The Board granted a 10 percent disability rating for the service-connected head scar and remanded other issues related to low back, warts on both hands, and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's head scar was found to be painful, which met the criteria for a 10 percent rating under DC 7804. Other claims were remanded due to insufficient evidence regarding flare-ups and other symptomatology.
